Description
In a world racked by the clash of European powers, Jonathan Edwards, one of the most extraordinary theologian-pastors the history of Christianity, sought to express by means of the spoken word and printed text his vision of the glory of God, sovereign over this world's empires, and its practical implications for humanity. The pursuit of this calling was an instrumental factor in the revivals that reshaped the American spiritual landscape. Throughout all the changes of his life was his beautiful relationship with his wife Sarah, a model of Puritan marital piety and the hidden spring of much of his usefulness as a preacher and theologian.
